Dinner for Five!!!

last nite on TMZ Harvey Levin, in talking about Patty Hearst, said "if I could have dinner with any 5 people she would be on my list"...

since the forum is kinda dead I thought this would be an interesting topic to toss around...here is my 5...

Syd Barrett
Jim Morrison
Janice Joplin
John Bonham
Sir Isaac Newton

I picked one person who does not fit in with the others to make interesting dinner conversation...I have a fetish with the dead!!!

Jim Shockey
Jacqueline Susann
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Andy Warhol
Mark Rothko

One of them isn't dead, but you know...

Carl Jung
Socrates
Elizabeth I
Leonardo da Vinci
Isak Dinesen (maybe her character Babette could do the cooking)

David Foster Wallace
Wendell Berry
Susan Sontag
Neil Postman
David Lynch


I probably wouldn't talk at all, which is fine. I had a lunch a few months ago with, among other people, a relative who teaches music history at Yale and a friend who teaches medieval philosophy at Fordham. It was the sort of thing where I could follow their conversation, but I could by no means take part in it. There is a special pleasure in listening to people much smarter than yourself talk and learn about things that they find fascinating.

Does anyone have their phone numbers?

I don't get the joke, could you explain?

Don't fret

Charles Bukowski/Hank Chinaski
Freddie Mercury
70's Jack Nicholson
Early 70's Roger Waters
Errol Flynn

It'd be a pretty good night.

Bob Dylan
King Solomon
Ram Daas
Conan O'Brien
Neil Cassady
